On New Years Eve, I was headed to the store with my little sweethearts in the backseat. Benjamin piped up from the backseat, "Listen to Christmas music."
I didn't have any cds in the car and I tried to explain. "Sweetie, I don't think there's any Christmas music on today. Christmas is over." I reached for the radio and turned it on anyway. After flipping through a few channels, I actually came across a station that had just started playing Hark the Herald Angel Sings. "Benjamin," I said excitedly, "it's Christmas music!"
Benjamin looked into the rearview mirror and replied. "It's Christmas Day."
It took me a moment to find the words to respond. "Yes, Sweetie. It's Christmas Day every day." What a humbling moment, and a great reminder from a 3-year old. It IS Christmas Day every day.
